All,

I don't know what "The Page" is, but on the PUBLICATIONS page of my Birding Northern Virginia web site, I do recommend the Stokes CD's. I know lots of birders who prefer the Birding By Ear series, though my own preference is for the Stokes CD's. I also have a link to BirdPod on my site. I sometimes use BirdPod in the field, and I like it quite a bit. However, I don't use BirdPod as a substitute for the Stokes CD's. Instead, I use it on occasion to check vocalizations I am hearing in the field, but might not be sure about. If you go the BirdPod route, make sure you order the companion BirdMaker software. National Geographic has just published some software too. You can find a link to this product and other software applications on the PUBLICATIONS page at http://homepage.mac.com/pmkane.

All,
I'm thinking about getting the software and CDs (The page says you have to use Stokes CDs) but am wondering if it is really THAT great.

Anyone using it?

If you have a better / cheaper system I'd be open to suggestions. I think learning to find my targets by ear will go a long way for me.

Thanks
Jim
